well, from my experience with vim it is better to distribute utilities in an extra archive, something like "mutt-contrib-yymmdd.tar.gz". > and if need be for dependancies packagers could have > mutt-perl, mutt-python, etc packages so that the main mutt > package wouldn't depend on any interpreters (which seems to > really piss people off for some moronic reason or another). you'll understand when your system can have only a small hard disk. ;-) > i recently upgraded my system and i still need to go snarf down > the stuff my word2text script needed; it would be nice if mutt > had that with the package (or if it had a script that had wv as > a dependancy to encourage linux distro makers to include it). i'd rather not bundle mutt with all utilities. after all, many people might not have a need for these at all. what's needed is better documentation with hint for download, installation, configuration, setup examples and links to webpages.
